“Kymaerica is a land (and some waters) somewhat co-existent with our linear world and a general landscape quite similar to large parts of what we would call North America. There are about 80-90 districts, containing over 4000 gwomes. A gwome is cognate word meaning ‘footprint of (the) nation.’ Usually it refers to a nation (so the terms are often used interchangeably), but it is actually a term for a physical area within a district which has a unified political structure. Kymaerican influences and stories are everywhere in our linear world and likely vice versa. But there also many wonders in Kymaerica not easily found here.”

Demetrios has spent the last several years documenting Kymaerica’s parallel geography and history and will be sharing his wonderfully strange findings on Sunday, April 30 at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood. The exhibition will include a detailed report of recent Kymaerica installations in Paris and Joshua Tree, as well as historical anecdotes and discussion of various other gwomes throughout Kymaerica. Expect photos, maps, and offbeat revisionist geography galore.
